Iran launches Khyber Missiles in 10 Israeli locations after US strikes

Iran launched a barrage of missiles towards Israel. This occurred hours after Tel Aviv’s closest ally, the US, struck three nuclear sites in Iran. Sirens sounded. Explosions echoed. Iranian missiles hit parts of central and northern Israel. This included Tel Aviv, Haifa, Nes Ziona, and the Rishon Lezion area.

The Israeli military reports it has identified missiles launched from Iran. The country’s defence systems are operating to intercept the threat.

30 missiles have been launched at Israel from Iran. In a first Khyber missiles were used. The Ben Gurion International Airport was among sites targeted by Iran.

“These live images you are seeing are of a new salvo of Iranian missiles. They were fired on the occupied territories,” said a presenter on air. The Iran state TV announced the fresh missile attack targeting Israel.

Some visuals going viral on social media purportedly showed destruction and damage in the Haifa city after the Iran strikes.

Fresh attacks in response to US Attack

US President Donald Trump on Sunday announced that the country had struck three nuclear sites – Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

The US attack used bunker-buster bombs, known as the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, on Iran’s Fordo nuclear fuel enrichment plant. The bomb is currently delivered only by the B-2 stealth bomber, which is only found in the American arsenal.

In addition, US submarines launched about 30 Tomahawk missiles.

Ever since, the US had taken a strong stance against Iran, asking it to back down.

The White House had said that Trump needed more time. He wanted to deliberate on whether the US would step into the conflict. He was considering sending in troops.

Amid radiation fears after the strikes on nuclear sites, Iran addressed these concerns. They reported there were no signs of radioactive contamination at the three locations. There was no danger to nearby residents.
